Workflow guidance
- Run
phi-cleanbefore sharing clinical notes in chat workflows. - Keep original and de-identified files separate.
- Validate cleaned output for context loss before publication.
Caveat
This tool helps reduce accidental PHI leakage, but it is not a legal/compliance determination on its own.
